Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks NOTE For example, access the system console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the system. Step 2. Check to see whether any users are logged in. Use the query user or query session command. Step 3. Issue the shutdown command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows Server 2003 on the system. You have the following options when shutting down Windows: • To shut down Windows and reboot: shutdown /r or select the Start > Shut Down action and choose Restart from the pull-down menu. • To shut down Windows and not reboot (either power down server hardware or put an nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig state): shutdown /s or select the Start > Shut Down action and choose Shut down from the pull-down menu. • To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown that has been initiated): shutdown /a For example: shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute." This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot after a timeout period of 60 seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the system. Reboot and reset When you perform a reboot or reset of an nPartition, all active cells in the nPartition reboot and the nPartition returns to the system boot environment (EFI). If possible shut down the operating system before resetting an nPartition. Reboot and reset nPartitions by using any one of the following procedures: Rebooting and resetting nPartitions [management processor] From the management processor issue the RS command to reset an nPartition. Under normal operation you first shut down the operating system. Step 1. Login to the management processor and enter CM to access the Command Menu. Step 2. At the Command menu, enter the RS command, specify which nPartition is to be reset, and confirm whether to reset it. The RS command resets all active cells in the nPartition and reboots them past partition rendezvous to the system boot environment (EFI) or an operating system. Chapter 4 69

Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions
nPartition-level tasks
Chapter 4

For example, access the system console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a
command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the
system.
Step 2.
Check to see whether any users are logged in.
Use the
query user
or
query session
command.
Step 3.
Issue the
shutdown
command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows
Server 2003 on the system.
You have the following options when shutting down Windows:
To shut down Windows and reboot:
shutdown /r
or select the
Start > Shut Down
action and choose
Restart
from the pull-down menu.
To shut down Windows and not reboot (either power down server hardware or put an
nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig state):
shutdown /s
or select the
Start > Shut Down
action and choose
Shut down
from the pull-down menu.
To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown that has been initiated):
shutdown /a
For example:
shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute."
This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot after a timeout period
of 60 seconds. The
/c
option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of
the system.
Reboot and reset
When you perform a reboot or reset of an nPartition, all active cells in the nPartition
reboot and the nPartition returns to the system boot environment (EFI).
NOTE
If possible shut down the operating system before resetting an nPartition.
Reboot and reset nPartitions by using any one of the following procedures:
Rebooting and resetting nPartitions [management processor]
From the management processor issue the
RS
command to reset an nPartition. Under
normal operation you first shut down the operating system.
Step 1.
Login to the management processor and enter
CM
to access the Command Menu.
Step 2.
At the Command menu, enter the
RS
command, specify which nPartition is to be reset,
and confirm whether to reset it.
The
RS
command resets all active cells in the nPartition and reboots them past partition
rendezvous to the system boot environment (EFI) or an operating system.
